It's pretty amazing how in 3 months I could become so knowlegeable about tennis gear. At the beginning of the summer I couldn't even name the differences between a Hyper Hammer 3.3 and a Pro Staff 6.0 . With all the researching and intellectual stuff I've been doing, I wonder why I'm not doing better in school.

I doubt it, but tennis-related jobs are sweet though. A friend of mine (whom I lost to last time) works at a clay court and helps maintain it. He's gettin paid to do almost nothing and it looks like we'll spend our afternoons this summer playing there. Bascially he'd be getting paid to play tennis, pretty sweet deal.

Hell yeah. I would of loved to be a ball boy in high school. Run around, get exercise and be 2' away from Sampras and Agassi, sweet deal there. But they do not allow the older folk to do that, so only a temp job. Unless u are a hot model.
